"At the commencement of the spring of 1624, a dark cloud hung over New
France. The winter had been severe, and provisions were scarce. Champlain had only
four barrels of flour in the store, so that he was anxiously awaiting
assistance. On June 2nd he received good news. A vessel of sixty tons was anchored
at Tadousac, laden with peas, biscuits and cider. To the starving settlement
this was most welcome, and some days after Guillaume de Caen arrived with
still more provisions."
